6. That's easy
Sherrod Brown, Sherrod, and Brown.
Ohio's senior senator and his wife, Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz, have been championing causes for the working class for years. You may nave seen him recently on MSNBC because of our wackadoodle teabag governor.

8. I like Sherrod Brown a lot too
He's a good guy. Still, it seems a bit weird that you can't think of anyone else. Bernie's been championing the working class for even longer.

26. I do have a lot of "favorites"
Including Al Franken, Sanders, and Leahy. I just couldn't pass the chance to brag up the credentials of a home state hero for whom I would set an alarm clock to do an 10 hour day of volunteer work. Ditto my congressman Tim Ryan:

I didn't mean to marginalize any other senator, but Ohio's front line is a bloodied battlefield that has gained my focus in recent years.
